I can’t stay away! I know that in a matter of days, all the purple flowers will be gone for the summer. A ranger, who has worked in this state park for 35 years has told me he has never seen such a crop as this year. The sheer size of the area covered with purple flowers is truly awesome.
Nature has a way of sprinkling lots of different yellow among the violet, too! What a place!
Standing in the same spot, there were paintings all around!

These are beautiful. I especially feel the light in the first one. It sounds like an exhilarating painting experience. What a treasure.
What fun you are having! Love the colors, and the second one is my fav. I like the second one better because the colors are bright but a little more "natural". I don't know if that makes sense in that I like Colin Page's work, and he has some very "unnatural" colors in most of his paintings. Yet they all work somehow to create a real feeling of light. I think you are getting there with the 2nd one. That's my 2 cents!!
Dave, it all comes down to brush mileage, doesn't it? See my next post.
Thanks Elizabeth! I am still going there to capture some of the hundreds of paintings that are waiting.
